ok i'm buzzed right now from drinking "nihonshu" meaning japanese sake. sometimes i get to go out and get friggin wasted here in japan because, well, that's what everyone does. but lately it's been kind of mellow. so whatever--i guess being buzzed is ok. it's better for me anyways since i have to wake up in the morning and actually get some work done. but, honestly people, let's get real--doesn't it suck to have to work every day? what a pain in the arse (as they say in northern ireland). i don't know--sometimes i just want to jam and make a bunch of cool stuff but something gets in the way (i.e. "work"). it's hard to just say "go" when you schedule it, y'know what i mean? but i can't complain--i feel lucky and honored that there are people (u guys!) out there that like and respect what i work so hard on. it's not easy--and people love to talk shit y'know. but that's cool. it's natural for everyone to rag on each other. i'm just lucky to be able to work on something every now and then and get it actually published. thanks to all you guys. can you send me e-mails? now it's finally set up so i can respond ok, so i'm going to respond, i swear! if for some reason you haven't heard from me back, please try again. and don't get frustrated. i really do appreciate your e-mail.

ok, now i'm going to drink water and pray i don't have a hangover tomorrow...

peace.
